Productive Capacities Index: 2nd Generation

This report details the methodological and technical changes made to PCI 23 released on UNCTADstat 20 June 2023. PCI users are advised to consult the UNCTADStat Data Centre to download updated data and editable working files to ensure the most recent values are captured in their analysis. Statistics presented through the UNCTADStat Data Centre reflect the most up-to-date revision and should be considered the values of reference. The PCI is based on 42 indicators in 8 categories, which refer to variables directly collected or calculated as a combination of other collected variables (see Appendix 4.1.). The indicators were updated with the most recently available data and revisions based on the same sources as the original PCI version, before the update round described herein started. Only when the original source was no longer available was a new source sought.
